The5ers Futures 40% Per-Trade Consistency Calculator
Calculate The5ers Futures’ 40% per-trade consistency requirement correctly, including losing trades, required total profit and the AUDIT 10% offer.

The5ers Futures applies a 40% consistency rule per trade, not simply per trading day. The largest profitable trade must remain within the required share of total profit before the relevant evaluation, payout or scale-up condition can be completed.

Direct formula
The official rule can be modeled as:
best trade profit ÷ total profit × 100 = consistency percentage
A planning formula for the minimum total profit is:
best trade profit ÷ 0.40 = required total profit at 40%
The5ers also publishes wording that the best trade must be less than 40% in some calculation guidance. To avoid a boundary dispute, build a small margin beyond the exact 40% result and use the dashboard status as the operational check.
Calculator table
| Best profitable trade | Total profit at exactly 40% | Safer target above the boundary |
|---|---|---|
| $400 | $1,000 | More than $1,000 |
| $800 | $2,000 | More than $2,000 |
| $1,200 | $3,000 | More than $3,000 |
| $1,600 | $4,000 | More than $4,000 |
| $2,000 | $5,000 | More than $5,000 |
A large trade does not automatically fail the account under the published explanation. The trader keeps trading until total profit reduces that trade’s share.

Why “per trade” matters
A trader can have a profitable day made from several trades, yet one trade may still be too large.
Example:
| Trade | P&L |
|---|---|
| Trade 1 | +$1,000 |
| Trade 2 | +$500 |
| Trade 3 | -$300 |
| Trade 4 | +$200 |
The day’s net result is $1,400. The official FAQ explains that consistency analysis can consider the best trade against the relevant profit calculation rather than treating the day as one combined winning unit.
That means a daily summary alone is insufficient. Export trade-level results when checking the rule.
Worked example: $1,600 best trade
The5ers gives a 50K-style example where one trade produces $1,600.
At $3,000 total profit:
$1,600 ÷ $3,000 = 53.33%
That is above 40%.
Required total profit at the mathematical boundary:
$1,600 ÷ 0.40 = $4,000
Because some current wording uses “less than 40%,” a prudent trader would continue slightly past $4,000 and confirm the dashboard rather than stopping at the exact boundary.
Losses can raise the required work
Consistency is not calculated from winning trades in isolation. Losing trades reduce current net profit while the best winning trade remains unchanged.
Suppose:
- Best trade: $1,000
- Gross gains from all winners: $1,700
- Losses: $300
- Net profit: $1,400
Using $1,400 as the current total, the best trade represents:
$1,000 ÷ $1,400 = 71.43%
Additional net profit is needed before the ratio reaches the target. This is why a trader should not add only positive trades and ignore losses.
Evaluation and funded use
The official Futures pages state that the 40% consistency requirement applies during the evaluation and funded stages. It can matter for:
- Completing the evaluation.
- Requesting a payout.
- Reaching a scale-up condition.
- Determining whether more trading is required after a large winner.
The rule regulates profit concentration. It is separate from the maximum-loss rule, daily controls on larger programs, contract limits and payout caps.
Current program context
The official Futures material lists multiple sizes and styles. Rules vary by account, but published examples include:
- End-of-day drawdown structures.
- News trading allowed.
- Day Trade positions closed before the market cutoff.
- Swing-specific holding conditions.
- Contract limits by account size.
- Payout caps by initial balance.
- Scaling milestones.
Do not combine the per-trade rule with the CFD program’s daily consistency language. The5ers Futures and The5ers CFD products are separate.
A practical consistency worksheet
After each trade, record:
| Field | Value to track |
|---|---|
| Best profitable trade | Largest positive trade result |
| Total current profit | Net profit used by the dashboard |
| Current ratio | Best trade ÷ total profit |
| Boundary target | Best trade ÷ 0.40 |
| Extra cushion | Amount above the boundary |
| Other requirements | Drawdown, payout cap, days and size limits |
If the best trade changes, recalculate immediately. A later $1,500 winner replaces an earlier $1,000 best trade and raises the required total.
How AUDIT fits the purchase
For participating The5ers Futures orders:
- Open the Futures checkout.
- Select the intended program and size.
- Enter
AUDIT. - Confirm the displayed 10% reduction.
- Save the current consistency and payout pages.
- Build the calculator from trade-level P&L.
The code changes the purchase total only. It does not change the 40% rule, loss limits, contract maximums, refund timing or payout cap.
Common errors
Measuring the best day instead of the best trade
The Futures rule is published per position or trade. A daily total can hide one oversized winner.
Ignoring losing trades
Losses reduce net profit and can make the best trade a larger percentage of the total.
Stopping exactly at 40%
Current pages contain both “40% or less” and “less than 40%” language. A small profit cushion and dashboard confirmation reduce boundary risk.
Confusing soft delay with account failure
Going above the ratio means more profit may be needed. It is not presented as an automatic hard breach.
Bottom line
The5ers Futures consistency is a trade-level concentration test. Divide the best profitable trade by total profit, then grow total profit until the result is safely within the 40% requirement. Code AUDIT provides 10% off participating Futures purchases, but the trading rules remain unchanged.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The official Futures FAQ describes it as a per-trade rule: the best single trade must stay within the published share of total profit.
Divide the best trade profit by total profit and multiply by 100. To calculate required total profit, divide the best trade by 0.40; check the dashboard’s exact boundary treatment.
No. The official FAQ says the trader continues until total profit is large enough to bring the best trade within the requirement.
